YouTuberAmanda Steele aka 'MakeupByMandy24' has filed for full custody of her infant daughter from her boyfriend.
According to legal documents, obtained by The Blast, Steele filed a petition for "to determine parental relationship" against her boyfriend Francisco Escobar Parra.
In the filing, Amanda is asking a Los Angeles County Court judge to give her full custody of her 7-month-old daughter, Gaia. The request includes "legal and physical" custody of the baby with visitation given to Francisco.
Now, it should be noted, that we are guessing she is no longer living with or dating Escobar, or this filing might not be necessary. As we reported, Al Pacino's baby mama filed a similar case in LA but claims the couple is still together.
The Youtuber claims she has been "the child's primary caregiver since the child's birth."
Also, she wants him to pay for the attorney's fees associated with this case.
If you aren't a huge influencer fan, Amanda is a famous video blogger, model, and actress. She started her YouTube channel, MakeupByMandy24, in 2010. It currently has over 2.5 million subscribers.
Steele is well known for her beauty and fashion-related content.
Along with social media, Stelle is signed to IMG Models and started a collaboration with Quay Australia for an exclusive sunglass line.
Interestingly, Amanda posted a YouTube video announcing her pregnancy 11 months ago, the same one where she introduced her boyfriend to the fans.
"Hope you guys are as excited as I am for this journey! Let me know what you want to see in the upcoming vlogs," she captioned a video called "IM PREGNANT!! Meet my boyfriend."
In the video, the influencer explains she met the model at a NYC nightclub in the early morning hours. She explained, "It was love at first site." Francisco explained he moved to the United States for modeling and sports. He is a pole vaulter.
"This is so exciting! We’re the same age and I’ve been watching you for 10 years it’s the craziest thing growing up with your favorite YouTubers and now all of us are doing adult things getting married having babies etc. So so happy for you and your little bub!!!" one fan commented.
The video has been viewed 405,000 times.
Steele is considered one of the "OG YouTubers" who has been posting content on the platform for over 10 years. In an interview, she explained moving on to new social media outlets, saying, “YouTube will always be there. TikTok is where our brains are at right now, the short-form content. But now we have Reels, and we can do that on Instagram, too."
Francisco has not responded to the case.
